Cassia sieberiana

It is used for multiple medical purposes in Africa and is found in the secondary jungle of a forest.

The upper side of the leaf is moderately shiny while the bottom has very fine nerves with stipules that are deciduous.

The fruit is indehiscent in that it stays attached to the tree for an extended amount of time.

[2] Cassia sieberiana grows best in well drained, humid soils with an annual rainfall of approximately 20 inches.

Cassia sieberiana is used to make tools, pestles, mortars, and also used for construction because it is a very hard wood that is resistant to termites.

Some cultures also incorporate the plant in their religion and for superstitious and magical purposes.
